'Game of Thrones' series Greenlighted

Holy fuck, yes. I know this means nothing to almost everyone here, but I've been waiting for this since the book series was first optioned three years ago. They even released the first production still, a shot apparently from the prologue of the book. So, yes, people, deal with me starting random threads and forcing irrelevant knowledge upon you. This is how Jack does business, aggresively and in a pompous third-person. Pray I never decide to educate the lot of you about pregnancy.

I'm like 3/4 (or more) of the way through Clash of Kings. HOLY CRAP! GRRM doesn't shy away from killing off important characters (and/or kids). Will there be anything left of House Stark before this is over?

What you should be asking is will there be anything left of ANYONE by the time this is over.

Winter is Coming has 15 new videos, focusing on characters and houses, that have gone up on a couple of different sites, though one or more fans has put them on youtube for everybody's convenience. Three are embedded, with the other twelve linked below.

Joss Rolls Royce Whedon and Jorge Ricardo Rodriguez Martinez like to sit in a tiny, windowless room together and write stories about the main characters of popular narratives getting murdered in inventive and surprising ways.

My favorite is the one where Luke Skywalker lighsabers his own heart when he goes to check the time. Leia warned him not to keep his watch on his dominant wrist. Serves him right. (Right, as opposed to left. And all that's left is a dingy Jedi hoodie.)

I think one of the videos I posted in the trailers thread contained some of the same footage as this one, but this 9-minute feature on houses Lannister & Baratheon is so cool that I had to post it. We get to see Charles Dance as Tywin, and also hear him speak a couple of lines, and the second time we see him he is outfitted magnificently in his full-plate armor. Awesome-o.

You wouldn't feel that way if you'd read the books. They're constantly serving delecatable delights like leeches and blood pie. Of course I can't watch the video at work, so I could be way off base. (but I'm not)

Faster and faster, a nightmare we ride.
Who'll take the reins when the miracle dies?
Faster and faster till everything dies.
Killing is our way of keeping alive.

Maybe he was stopping you from having fun, but then you had to go and pay the negativity forward. Way to bring everyone down to your own level, Thursty. My high school principal would not have approved.
